PromoTheRobot Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 While Mack is expected to play in the Senior Bowl, this Saturday will be his last game as a UB Bull. The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Sat 12/21 @ 5:30pm on ESPN. UB vs San Diego State. Keep an eye on Branden Oliver too. PTR
marauderswr80 Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 I like Oliver. Reminds me of MJD for the jags!

Mark Vader Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 http://www.ubbullrun...amed-first-team Mack named first-team All-American. PTR I'm already sold. Draft him!
PromoTheRobot Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 I'm already sold. Draft him! Where he goes depends a lot on how he looks in this bowl and the Senior Bowl. But I bet he'll be there when the Bills pick 9-13. My ideal scenario is we trade down and get Mack and a TE. PTR
Offside Number 76 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Where he goes depends a lot on how he looks in this bowl and the Senior Bowl. But I bet he'll be there when the Bills pick 9-13. My ideal scenario is we trade down and get Mack and a TE. PTR I'm not sure they can trade down and still get Mack.
jr1 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I can't believe he had only 1 scholarship offer

My ideal scenario is we trade down and get Mack and a TE. PTR Where he goes will also depend on how he performs at the combine (IMHO). Even though he stood out against the Bulls best opponents, including Ohio State, teams will want to see outstanding measurables because UB generally plays at a lower level of competition.
papazoid Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Khalil Mack is currently: Ranked # 4th on Mel Kiper's Big Board Ranked # 5th on Scout's Top 32
cvanvol Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I can't believe he had only 1 scholarship offer You could if he only played one season of football. None of the big teams got to see him play. The only reason he ended up here is because someone knew someone who knew someone.
K D Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I'm already sold. Draft him! I'm not. I think it's super risky to take a guy that high who doesn't play against top competition. I'm not saying he's not all he's cracked up to be but when you are playing Toledo and Akron it's easy to look good. The top pick last year was from the MAC and he was a bust. I think if you are drafting someone that high it should be a sure thing

I think if you are drafting someone that high it should be a sure thing Mack is as sure as it gets for a linebacker. He tore up Ohio State on National TV. That is quality competition. He also broke multiple NCAA records.

cvanvol Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I think the Senior Bowl will be a big week for him. Let's see how he does against these SEC and PAC-12 guys He will be just fine. That ohio state o line was supposed to be one of the better ones in the country. It was a really close game as well and if it wasnt for a crappy hands to the face penalty on mack on a play where he sack fumbled the QB and the defense scored a TD they might have beat them.
K-9 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Mack's level of competition is of ZERO concern to scouts, GMs, personnel directors, etc. He has shown the one thing that needs to be shown by kids from smaller programs and conferences: absolute domination of his opponents. The fact he played well against big schools like Ohio State, etc. is a bonus. There is no shortage of precedence by players from small schools that have made a big impact at the next level. GO BILLS!!!
Kirby Jackson Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Urban Meyer said that he was the best player on the field in that game (and he was). I have zero concerns with Mack as a prospect after seeing him a handful of times. I like him a lot more than I like Mosely or Shazier (and I am an OSU fan). He is all over the field and he is a 3 down guy. I think that Mack will go somewhere between 5-12. Edited December 19, 2013 by Kirby Jackson
PromoTheRobot Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) James Harrison was another guy from the MAC. He turned out okay. There is no shortage of MAC players in the NFL. It's not like it's DIII. The difference between the MAC and say the SEC is more roster depth. PTR Edited December 19, 2013 by PromoTheRobot
